Full textThe aim of this work is the synthesis, optimization and functionalization of organic@inorganic core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), which constitute a novel class of nanoparticulate tracers, to be used for two-photon deep tissue imaging of tumor vascularization. These core-shell NPs, which comprise an organic dye nanocrystal core (ca 40-50 nm) surrounded by a silicate crust, are synthesized using an original spray-drying method developed in our group. This process is based on the confined nucleation and growth of an organic nanocrystal concomitantly with the formation of a silicate crust by fast drying of sprayed droplets containing silicate oligomers, organic dye and solvent under an air flux at 150-200 °C. This one-step synthesis is made possible thanks to the control of both the sol-gel chemistry (polycondensation) and the nanocrystallization process, which occur simultaneously. Alkoxide precursors, TMOS (tetramethoxysilane) and TMSE (1.2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane) are chosen to form the silicate shell. Additionally, an organosilane, (3-azidopropyl) triethoxysilane (AzPTES), is used to impart an azide functionality to the NPs for further functionalization with alkyne-modified moieties using the Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of organic azides to alkynes (CuAAC). The organic dyes for the nanocrystalline core are non-commercial and designed to exhibit high fluorescence intensity in the solid state under two-photon excitation in the near infrared (biological window) and the appropriate physico-chemical properties to enable their nanocrystallization. Spherical defect-free NPs were obtained. Colloidal NP suspensions were obtained after a basic partial dissolution of the shells of the NPs followed by acidic neutralization to pH 7.4, to match the pH of physiological media.In order to provide long circulation time of the NPs in the bloodstream to enable the use of these NPs as tracers for deep-tissue imaging, the synthesized NPs were derivatized with different moieties to improve their colloidal stability by charge/steric stabilization. The effects of the functionalization were studied using different characterization tools such as fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential under physiological conditions.Functionalization with different forms of alkyne-modified polyethylene glycol (PEG), differing in chain length and structure was done using CuAAC, to render them furtive and increase their circulation time in the bloodstream. The functionalized NPs, when compared with the initial core shell NPs (prior to functionalization) using IR spectroscopy, showed positive results, with reduction in the azide band intensity and appearance of bands corresponding to the C-H bonds of the PEG in the functionalized NPs. DLS performed on colloidal suspensions of the core-shell NPs functionalized with a long-chain (Mn :5000) PEG in two media, (a) water and (b) Simulated body fluid (SBF) solution, each tested at two different temperatures (i) 25 °C and (ii) 37 °C resulted in size distributions centered at less than 200 nm in all four cases, thereby indicating stability of the functionalized core-shell NP suspensions under physiological conditions. Fluorescence spectroscopy of the NP suspensions before and after functionalization also exhibited good results, with comparable brightness after functionalization, suggesting that no quenching occurred in the presence of Cu salts. The colloidal suspensions were found to have lost less than 10 % of the fluorescence signal, suggesting colloidal stability.The interactions of these core-shell NPs with different plasma proteins were also investigated, with minimal aggregation in the presence of high concentrations of proteins. Two-photon fluorescence imaging tests in mice are underway. In conclusion, bright, red-emitting core-shell NPs have been produced, which are promising for use in bio-imaging

Full textROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), such as H2O2, HO● and O2-●, are naturally produced by themetabolism of living beings. However, they can appear in large quantities in the case of certaindiseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, sclerosis, cancer). Overproduction of ROS leads to highercell mortality.Some microorganisms have an Mn-based enzyme capable of catalyzing the disproportionationreaction of H2O2 into O2 and H2O. Several molecules have been synthesized to reproduce thisprocess, however very few of them are active in aqueous environment. Recently, synthetic Mn species have been introduced into mesoporous silica to protect themfrom the environment. Thus, these complexes of Mn are stable and even see their catalyticactivity increase. In order to persevere in this way, this thesis presents new compounds ofMnII (dinuclear and chain) and MnIII (tetranuclear) based on this concept. They havefluorescent ligands (9-anthracene carboxylate), added for theragnostic purposes. Thesecompounds were inserted into silica nanoparticles (Nps), resol (a polyphenol resin) -silica andcarbon-silica hybrids in order to allow their vectorization and to study the compatibility ofhybrid NPs with this type of system.This work explores the magnetic properties of the complexes, the luminescent properties of thecompounds and materials and shows the good insertion of the compounds into the hybrid NPs,not requiring, in contrast to pure silica NPs, additional functionalization for the retention of thecomplexes. It also highlights the activity of Mn compounds in acetonitrile and paves the wayfor optimizing hybrid systems in aqueous media

Full textThe goal of this study is the use of Si and SiC nanoparticles (NPs) as fluorescent temperature nanoprobes particularly in lubricating films. The development of these nanoprobes requires the determination of their thermal sensitivity in order to select the best prospects NPs. To achieve this goal, we presented two preparation methods used for the synthesis of 3C-SiC based nanostructures : (i) anodic etching method and (ii) chemical etching method. In the first case, the FTIR, Raman and TEM analysis of final NPs showed that the chemical nature of these NPs is formed predominantly of graphitic carbon. The detailed photoluminescence study of these NPs showed that the emission process depends on the surface chemistry of the NPs, the dispersion medium and its viscosity, the suspension concentration and temperature of the environment.. In the second case, coherent TEM, DLS and PL analyzes showed an average size of 1.8 nm in diameter with a dispersion of ±0.5 nm. The external quantum efficiency of these NPs is 4%. NPs dispersed in ethanol, did not show an exploitable fluorescence dependence on temperature for our application. On the other hand, 3C-SiC NPs produced by this way, given the narrow size distribution and the reasonably high quantum yield for an indirect bandgap material, are promising for applications such as luminophores in particular in the biology field thanks to nontoxicity of SiC. In the case of Si we studied also two different types of NPs. (i) NPs obtained by anodic etching and functionalized by alkyl groups (decene, octadecene). We have demonstrated for the first time an important red-shift in the emission energy dEg/dT with temperature from 300 to 400K. The PL lifetime measurement(T) lead to a thermal sensitivity of 0.75% /°C very interesting compared to II-VI NPs. Furthermore it has been shown that t is not depending on the concentration. (ii) NPs obtained by wet-chemical process and functionalized with n-butyl. For this type of NPs we have identified for the first time a blue-shift behavior of dEg dT in the order of -0.75 meV/K in squalane. The thermal sensitivity for the PL lifetime of these NPs is 0.2%/°C, which is lower than that of NPs obtained by anodic etching method, but much greater than that of CdSe NPs with 4 nm of diameter (0.08%/°C). Quantification of the temperature sensitivity by the position of emission peak dEg/dT and the PL lifetime dτ/dT allows us to consider the realization of temperature nanoprobes based on Si NPs with recommendations to use Si NPs obtained by anodic etching method and PL lifetime as an indicator of temperature changes

Full textHigh-throughput screening has seen significant advances in the last 20 years. However, microtiter plate or microarray technologies are not optimal for all types of assays. Hence, implementation of droplet-based microfluidic platforms could bring a breakthrough in terms of throughput and reduction of costs. However, once out of the chip, droplets lose positional information to identify drop contents. It is thus necessary to label the encapsulated compounds. Since fluorescence is a common assay readout method, we opted for this strategy. The goal of this PhD was to produce a fluorescent material compatible with the specificities of droplet microfluidics, then to generate several optically encoded droplet libraries with it. We opted for silica nanoparticles (SNPs) covalently encapsulating organic fluorophores. We developed a novel synthesis route that enabled us to reach sizes down to 2. 5 nm, the smallest ever synthesized. The SNPs are brighter than starting fluorophores, better resist photobleaching and have tunable fluorescence polarization. Then, we studied the surface properties of these particles, especially their interaction with the surfactant. At long time scales, competition between particles and surfactant was shown. In addition, dramatic osmotic effects were highlighted in case of unequal particle concentration across droplets. Last, we investigated crucial parameters in fluorescent code design, then generated two-and three-color encoded droplet libraries. We also discussed optimizations and on-the-fly identification. We finally identify many applications would benefit from this encoding system

Full textUntil recently, most of the work done on metal-enhanced fluorescence of molecular fluorophores employed silver and gold nanoparticles as the substrate. However, these metals are not perfectly suit for fluorescence enhancement in the UV region of the spectrum as their maximum plasmonic bands are centered at approximately 400 nm and 530 nm for silver and gold, respectively. The interest in the UV region is mostly due to biomedical studies as most of the biomolecules absorb and emit in this region. In this project, the focus is on DNA, which is fluorescent via the nucleobases, en even more so on proteins which owe their intrinsic fluorescence to the three aromatic amino acids, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine. The main goal of this project is to develop a nanostructure able to support metal-enhanced fluorescence in the UV. Indium seems to be the perfect metal to work with as it is part of the boron group (Al, Ga, In, Tl) which is characterized by low absorption losses, but also by its strong plasmonic band centered at approximately 300 nm making it suitable for metal-enhanced fluorescence studies in the UV. In this project, indium nanoparticles with a size ranging from 60 to 80 nm were developed with a plasmon approximately centered at 310 nm. Then, a protective dielectric layer of silica was synthesized on the indium core. The thickness of the silica layer is easily tunable; it is used to find the optimal distance to observe a maximal fluorescence enhancement. Silica shells between 5 and 50 nm were used. Different strategies were considered for the grafting of the fluorophores on the surface of indium-silica nanoparticles. Incorporation of the fluorophore into a silica layer was chosen as it allows for covalent bonding between the fluorophore and the silica layer. Two different fluorophores were used. The first one is Carbostyril 124, acting as a model fluorophore, and the second one is tryptophan as it is the most fluorescent amino acid. Enhancement factors of up to 3 and 7 were obtained for Carbostyril 124 and tryptophan, respectively. Others preliminary tests have been made on tyrosine and phenylalanine, the two other fluorescent amino acids, and on DNA.

Full textPhotophysical behavior of 9-aminoacridine (9AA) and derivatives, safranine O, auramine and 9-vinylanthracene was investigated, in silica particles. Firstly, commercial silica was modified and grafted with acridinic dyes; however, photophysical studies became unviable, due to its morphology. Silica nanospheres were prepared by Stöber method, with mean diameter of 50 nm, presenting high fluorescence emission. Moreover, in order to avoid de desorption of dyes from particles in suspension, systems containing a dye reach nucleus protected by silica shells were prepared (core-shell nanoparticles). The core-shell nanospheres, with mean diameter of 125 nm, are excellent matrixes for fluorescence studies, since it retards dye diffusion to the solvent. It was also prepared nanoparticles containing poly(methylmethacrylate) grafted with 9AA derivative. Interaction between silica silanol groups and dye N-H groups broke the intramolecular charge transfer, a characteristic process occurring in this dye. Finally, nanoparticles grafted with 9AA and safranine O were prepared. In the presence of safranine, fluorescence lifetime related to the deactivation of the chromophore acridine reduced from 12.2 ns to 9.71 ns, suggesting energy transfer and fluorescence quenching processes within the particles.

Full textLe sujet de la thèse concerne l'élaboration et la caractérisation de nanostructures de silice contenant à la fois des fluorophores organiques et des nanoparticules d'or. Précisément, il s’agit d’architectures de type cœur – coquille (cœur=or, coquille=silice) préparées en utilisant les méthodes de la chimie sol-gel. Dans la première partie du travail consacrée à l’élaboration, nous avons démontré que la technique de microémulsion permettait l’encapsulation simultanée de molécules organiques et de nano-objets métalliques dans des billes de silice. En particulier, nous avons montré par microscopie électronique à transmission que la formation préliminaire d’un cœur d’or à l’intérieur des micelles avait un effet structurant sur les coquilles de silice, conférant aux architectures finales un strict contrôle de la taille, de l’homogénéité et de la morphologie. Dans la seconde partie de ce travail, nous avons apporté la preuve que les objets ainsi réalisés présentaient des propriétés optiques inédites. En effet, on peut en augmenter la luminescence par simple incorporation de quantités grandissantes de fluorophores organiques sans se heurter à la limitation habituelle générée par le « quenching de concentration ». Dans le but d’élucider ce phénomène, nous avons étudié systématiquement les propriétés optiques de ces architectures par des mesures de fluorescence (pour en déterminer le rendement quantique) et en temps résolu (pour en déterminer la durée de vie). Nous avons conclu que, contrairement aux prédictions de la littérature, la présence de particules d’or ne modifiait que très peu la vitesse de désexcitation radiative des fluorophores mais, en revanche, en diminuait de manière nette celle de désexcitation non radiative. Pour parfaire la compréhension de ce dernier phénomène, nous avons mesuré les vitesses de transfert d'énergie entre fluorophores par des mesures d'anisotropie stationnaire et dépendante du temps. Ces mesures montrent que, si la présence d’or accélère d’un facteur significatif la vitesse de transfert, ceux-ci se font aussi de manière plus sélective. Les transferts d’excitation vers les dimères organiques (se comportant comme des puits de fluorescence) deviennent alors très peu probables, ce qui permet d’expliquer finalement la quasi-suppression du « quenching de concentration ». Les résultats obtenus dans cette thèse ouvrent la voie au développement de sondes plus performantes dans les domaines de la bio-détection et de l’imagerie de fluorescence

Full textIn the 21st century nanotechnologies are growing fast and are continuously evolving. Indeed, high-tech industries rely on remarkable innovations enabled by the new properties of matter at the nanoscale. In addition, the nanomedicine field seems hopeful to cure human health problems such as heart or liver diseases, brain damage or cancers. However, despite expansive scientific efforts the potential risks of nano-objects on human health and on the environment are still poorly understood due to the wide variety of nano-objects. In addition, no consensus about nanotoxicology exists yet, sometimes leading to inhomogeneous and inconsistent findings. In this context, the present study aimed at a better understanding of the nanoparticles biological effects. Fluorescent silica nanoparticles with well-controlled size and surface functionalization were synthesized to study separately the impact of these two physico-chemical characteristics on cell response. Murine macrophages (from the RAW 264.7 cell line commonly used as a reference for nanotoxicology studies) were exposed to the different nanoparticles, and membrane alteration, induction of pro-inflammatory effect and generation of oxidative stress were investigated. In addition, in order to distinguish uptaken nanoparticles from those adsorbed at the cell membrane and to observe phagocytosis over time, methods were developed. Results demonstrated that the studied nanoparticles were not inert. Moreover the biological effects were found to depend on nanoparticles size, surface functionalization and dose

Resumo: Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidos nanossensores fluorescentes reutilizáveis para determinação de íons Cu(II) através do encapsulamento da rodamina B em nanopartículas de sílica (NPSRB ¿ 5), sintetizadas com base no método de Stöber. Objetivando identificar, compreender e, consequentemente, controlar todos os parâmetros envolvidos na síntese, foram realizados estudos uni e multivariado. No estudo univariado foram avaliados os efeitos da temperatura, velocidade de agitação, concentração do catalisador (hidróxido de amônio), concentração de água, razão molar [água] / [TEOS] e [etanol] / [TEOS]. No estudo multivariado foram avaliados os efeitos da água, TEOS, etanol e hidróxido de amônio. Os resultados do estudo univariado mostraram que todos os parâmetros estudados apresentaram influência no tamanho e morfologia das nanopartículas. No estudo multivariado foi possível identificar que as variáveis envolvidas na síntese apresentam tais efeitos somente em condições específicas. Após a identificação e, consequentemente, um maior controle dos parâmetros envolvidos na síntese de nanopartículas, iniciou-se o desenvolvimento dos nanossensores fluorescentes reutilizáveis. Neste trabalho dois nanossensores foram desenvolvidos com concentração do catalisador (NH3) de 0,18 mol L-1 para o nanossensor 1, e 0,70 mol L-1 para o nanossensor 2. O nanossensor 2, produzido em uma síntese de 2 h, não apresentou resposta a íons Cu(II) (supressão de fluorescência), isso porque as nanopartículas não possuíam porosidade, o que impediu o acesso dos íons Cu(II) à rodamina. O nanossensor 1, desenvolvido em uma síntese de 7 h, apresentou resposta a íons Cu(II). O reagente luminescente foi adicionado em diferentes estágios da síntese (2, 3, 4 e 5 h), onde o nanossensor com a adição da rodamina B em 5 h de síntese apresentou os melhores resultados. O nanossensor apresentou faixa linear entre 2,0 ¿ 12,0 µmol L-1, limite de detecção de 0,40 µmol L-1, limite de quantificação de 1,3 µmol L-1, tempo de resposta de 50 s e seletivo a íons Cu(II) podendo ser reutilizado 3 vezes. O nanossensor foi aplicado na determinação de íons Cu(II) em cachaça, produzindo resultados que não diferiram significativamente ao nível de confiança de 95 % dos resultados obtidos por espectrometria de absorção atômica
Abstract: In this work, a reusable fluorescent nanosensor for determination of Cu(II) ions was developed by encapsulating rhodamine B in silica nanoparticles synthesized based on Stöber method. In preliminary studies, it was possible to identify a relationship between the performance of nanossensor and the properties of the silica nanoparticles. In order to identify, understand and thus control all the parameters involved in the synthesis, univariate and multivariate studies were performed. In the univariate study, it was evaluated the effect of temperature, stirring speed, catalyst concentration (ammonium hydroxide), water concentration, and [water] / [TEOS] and [ethanol] / [TEOS] molar ratios. In the multivariate study, it was evaluated the effect of water, TEOS, ethanol and ammonium hydroxide. Results obtained in the univariate study showed that all parameters affect the size and the morphology of the nanoparticles. In the multivariate study, it was found that the variables involved in the synthesis have such effects only under specific conditions. After identification and, consequently, better control of the parameters involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles, the development of fluorescent nanosensors was carried out. Two nanosensors were developed, synthesized with catalyst concentration (NH3) of 0.18 mol L-1 for the nanosensor 1, and 0.70 mol L-1 for the nanosensor 2. The nanosensor 2, developed in a synthesis of 2 h, did not present response to Cu(II) ions (fluorescence quenching), because nanoparticles did not present porosity, which prevented the access of Cu(II) ion to rhodamine. The nanosensor 1, developed in a synthesis of 7 h, showed response to Cu(II) ions. The luminescent reagent was added at different stages of the synthesis (2, 3, 4 and 5 hours), and the nanosensor obtained with addition of rhodamine B after 5 h of synthesis showed the best results. The nanosensor showed linear range from 2.0 to 12.0 µmol L-1, detection limit of 0.40 µmol L-1, quantification limit of 1.3 µmol L-1, response time of 50 s and selectivity to Cu(II) ions which can be reused 3 times. The nanosensor was applied to the determination of Cu(II) in sugar cane spirit and the results obtained did not show significant differences from those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry at a confidence level of 95 %

Full textThis thesis aims at developing hybrid nanoparticles based on silica by reverse microemulsion. The silica nanoparticles are the basic matrix containing and protecting organic molecules and/or metallic nanoparticles. The combined incorporation of different entities within the silica opens wide prospects for the introduction of new properties related to the hybrid structure. To develop such objects, we used reverse micelles based on water, Triton X-100, hexanol and cyclohexan as reaction medium. The influence of operating conditions on the control of the size of reverse micelles was first studied. These micelles were then set to be used as nanoreactors for the synthesis of silica nanoparticles by sol-gel using suitable alkoxysilanes precursors. We monitored how it was possible to control the size of silica nanoparticles based on the water to surfactant ratio. It was thus possible to prepare in a reproducible way nanoparticles with sizes varying from 30 nm to 200 nm. We then investigated the possibility to encapsulate, in this nanoscaled matrix, fluorophores and nanoparticles of gold and silver in a controlled manner. To ensure a good colloidal stability in solution, these hybrid nanoparticles were, on the one hand, modified by adding a functional silane and, on the other hand, by click chemistry. We have thus shown that it is possible to perform, in a same micellar media, all of manufacturing process of the hybrid nanoparticle, from the silica matrix to its functionalization passing by the incorporation of functional entities. This method of sequential synthesis allowed us to bypass the purification and redispersion steps that can be problematic in the conventional methods. All this work has been extended to the design of an antibacterial agent based of silver/silica nanoparticles, capable of preventing bacterial growth through the gradual release of silver ions. Tests conducted in solution on the impregnated cotton and polyethylene terephtalate indeed show an interesting antibacterial character of these systems

Full textA notable application of nanomaterials is the use of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) as optical bioprobes in Raman or fluorescence spectroscopy detection schemes. Such a use is permitted by the plasmonic properties shown by these NPs upon light irradiation; the spectroscopic properties of these colloids are tuned through careful selection of the core’s composition, size and environment. Gold and silver are the two most commonly used metals for biodetection as they are easily prepared in nanoscopic regimes with defined shapes and sizes, as well as for their intense optical interactions with visible light. These metals are however not applicable at higher energy UV regimes, which would allow, for instance, the enhancement of the intrinsic fluorescence of proteins, a field of interest in biodetection which is hindered by the extremely low fluorescence signal of these biomolecules. We propose for such an application the use of indium-based plasmonic probes, as this metal has been shown to be active in the UV regime. This master’s thesis thus focuses on the preparation of core-shell colloids for an eventual use in biodetection. The indium cores are prepared in a single step which combines both polyol and hot-injection methods characteristics. By shuffling various synthetic parameters, indium cores approximately 9 and 70 nanometers (nm) wide are obtained. The larger cores, which should demonstrate a stronger fluorescence enhancement effect, are then covered with a silica shell through a single Stöber-like step. Again, controlling different synthetic parameters such was water content, silica precursor concentration, and Stöber system dilution allows to modulate the silica’s thickness between 4 and 40 nm. Such a thin silica shell on such a relatively small indium core is, at the best of our knowledge, still unprecedented. The synthesized core-shell colloids are characterized with UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering.

Full textThe subject of this thesis fits into the large field of the toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs). Thanks to their physico-chemical properties, NPs are able to enter cells through the plasma membrane. Understanding the NPs-membrane interaction is thus very important. Membranes being complex structures, we chose to study this interaction using planar lipid films (monolayers and bilayers) as simplified membrane models, either deposited on nanostructured surfaces prepared by the prior deposition of silica NPs or transferred from monolayers spread on a subphase containing NPs (4-100 nm in diameter). Two complementary methods were used, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence microscopy.After a first part devoted to the optimization of the experimental procedure (choice of lipids, design of nanostructured surfaces and films), AFM first revealed the oxidation of transferred monolayers made of unsaturated lipids, leading to the formation of domains raised above the intact lipid phase. In the case of films made of lipids characterized by a liquid expanded/liquid condensed phase transition, the presence of NPs (usually organized in aggregates) seems to favor the transition to the condensed phase, NPs being either embedded in condensed domains or at their edges.The final phase of this work was devoted to the study of NPs / bilayer interaction by AFM in liquid medium. The study shows different tribological behavior of NPs aggregates, suggesting two possible organizations of the lipid bilayer, covering the NPs or forming holes around them

Full textSilica nanospheres doped with quercetin-Al+3 and rhodamine B were synthesized with high size control and morphology, using acid and basic catalysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The nanoparticle diameter obtained was about 200- 300 nm, with higher regularity when synthesized in alkaline media. The Stöber\'s and core-shell methods were used as preparation methods. Because the alkaline hydrolysis of quercetin, the flavonoid or the quercetin-Al+3 complex doped nanoparticles showed higher emission intensity when acid catalysis was used. When basic catalysis was performed, the particles prepared with an alumina-sol showed expressive emission intensity, but nanometric parallelepipeds were obtained. The quercetin-alumina fluorescence decays are biexponential, agreeing with the two types of quercetin-Al+3 complexes formed in the nanoparticles domain. In the case of rhodamine B, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements were performed, showing a relation between diffusion relaxation with size and aggregation behavior.

Full text[CA] La present tesi doctoral titulada "Detecció òptica d'espècies químiques d'importància ambiental i biològica utilitzant sensors moleculars i materials híbrids" se centra en el disseny, preparació, caracterització i avaluació de sensors químics moleculars. El treball realitzat es pot dividir en dues parts: (i) síntesi de sensors de cations metàl·lics en dissolució i (ii) síntesi i caracterització de nanopartícules híbrides orgànic-inorgànics per al reconeixement d'espècies químiques i biològiques. En el primer capítol s'introdueix el marc en el qual s'engloben els fonaments teòrics de la química supramolecular en què es basen els estudis pràctics realitzats durant la present tesi doctoral. A continuació, en el capítol dos, es presenten els objectius generals de la tesi. En el tercer capítol es presenta un quimiodosímetro crom-fluorogénic, capaç de detectar selectivament cations trivalents entre cations i anions monovalents i divalents mitjançant una reacció de deshidratació en aigua. En el quart capítol es presenta una unitat (BODIPY) connectada electrònicament amb un macrocicle dithia-dioxa-aza. Les solucions de acetonitril i aigua-acetonitril 95:5 v/v de la sonda van mostrar una banda ICT a la zona visible i són gairebé no emisivas. Quan es va utilitzar acetonitril com a dissolvent, l'addició de Hg (II) i cations metàl·lics trivalents va induir un canvi hipsocròmic de la banda d'absorció i millores moderades de l'emissió. Es va obtenir una resposta altament selectiva a l'utilitzar mitjans competitius com aigua-acetonitril 95:5 v/v. En aquest cas, només el Hg (II) va induir un canvi hipsocròmic de la banda d'absorció i una millora marcada de l'emissió. El cinquè capítol explora el desenvolupament de sensors per berberina i amantadina. Dues molècules d'interès biològic pel seu ús com a fàrmacs. S'han preparat tres sistemes de sensors basats en l'aproximació de portes moleculars. En concret, sobre nanopartícules MCM-41 carregades amb rodamina B com a unitat de senyalització, s'ha dut a terme la funcionalització amb diverses amines i el bloqueig de porus amb cucurbituril CB7. Les amines utilitzades són ciclohexilamina, bencilamina i amantadina. Els materials obtinguts s'han caracteritzat per tècniques iv de difracció de raigs X i microscòpia electrònica de transmissió confirmant l'estructura mesoporosa de les nanopartícules. Els materials preparats mostren una resposta a la berberina i la adamantina, llevant el tap i alliberant el tint fluorescent a l'mig. La resposta dels materials a les dues substàncies d'interès (berberina i amantadina) depèn de l'estructura química de cada un dels materials en funció de les constants d'afinitat entre l'anàlit i CB7. Els resultats obtinguts obren el camí a l'ús de portes moleculars com a sensors de berberina i amantadina.
[EN] The present doctoral thesis entitled "Optical detection of chemical species of environmental and biological importance using molecular sensors and hybrid materials" focuses on the design, preparation, characterization and evaluation of molecular chemical sensors. The work carried out can be divided into two parts: (i) synthesis of metal cation sensors in solution and (ii) synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic nanoparticles for the recognition of chemical and biological species. The first chapter introduces the framework that encompasses the theoretical foundations of supramolecular chemistry on which the practical studies carried out during this doctoral thesis are based. Next, in chapter two, the general objectives of the thesis are presented. In the third chapter, a chromium-fluorogenic chemodosimeter is presented, capable of selectively detecting trivalent cations by means of a dehydration reaction in water. The fourth chapter presents a new compound containing a BODIPY unit electronically connected with a dithia-dioxa-aza macrocycle. Acetonitrile and water-acetonitrile 95:5 v/v solutions of the probe showed an ICT band in the visible zone and were nearly non-emissive. When acetonitrile was used as a solvent, addition of Hg(II) and trivalent metal cations induced an hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and moderate emission enhancements. A highly selective response was obtained when using competitive media such as water- acetonitrile 95:5 v/v. In this case only Hg(II) induced a hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and a marked emission enhancement. The fifth chapter explores the development of sensors for berberine and amantadine; two molecules of biological interest due to their use as drugs. Three sensing systems based on a "molecular gate" approximation have been prepared. Specifically, MCM-41 nanoparticles were loaded with Rhodamine B as a signalling unit, functionalized with various amines and capped with cucurbituril CB7. The amines used are cyclohexylamine, benzylamine and amantadine., The materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques and transmission vi electron microscopy, confirming the mesoporous structure of the nanoparticles. The prepared materials showed a response to berberine and adamantine, which induced release of the fluorescent dye to the medium. The response of the materials to the two substances of interest (berberine and amantadine) depends on the chemical structure of the capping ensemble and it is a function of the affinity constants between the analyte and CB7. The results obtained open the way to the use of gated materials as berberine and amantadine probes.

Full textThe present thesis studies ZnO nanoparticles embedded in a mesospheric polyacrylic acid (PAA) matrix synthesized via a hydrolysis protocol. The mesospheric ZnO/PAA hybrid structure was previously proved efficient in emitting visible light in a broad range, which results from the deep-level intrinsic defects in ZnO nanocrystals. To further tune the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum and improve the PL quantum yield (PL QY) of the material, metal-doped ZnO and silica-coated ZnO/PAA are fabricated independently. For ZnO doped with metallic elements, the nature, concentration, size and valence of the dopant are found to affect the formation of the mesospheres and consequently the PL and PL QY. Ions larger than Zn2+ with a higher valence tend to induce larger mesospheres and unembedded ZnO nanoparticles. Doping generally leads to the quenching of PL, but the PL spectrum can still be tuned in a wide range (between 2.46 eV and 2.17 eV) without degrading the PL QY by doping small ions at a low doping concentration (0.1 %). For silica-coated ZnO/PAA, an optimal coating correlatively depends on the amount of TEOS and ammonia in the coating process. The amount of TEOS does not affect the crystal structure of ZnO or the PL spectrum of the material, but high concentration of ammonia can degrade the PAA mesospheres and thicken the silica shell. A thin layer of silica that does not absorb too much excitation light but completely covers the mesospheres proves to be the most efficient, with a drastic PL QY improvement of six times. Regarding the application, the materials suffer from thermal quenching at temperatures high up to 100°C, at which white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) generally operates. However, silica-coated ZnO/PAA induces higher emission intensity at room temperature to make up for the thermal quenching

Full textThe combination of fluorescence and nanomaterials has developed into an emerging research area. Nonetheless until now the step from an organic sensory molecule to a final sensor format is a complex endeavor. This thesis aimed at the preparation of particulate and thin-film based platforms for various analytes through combining the features of an appropriate host material with outstanding properties of dyes concomitant with sensitive fluorescence detection techniques. In particular, pH sensitive fluorescent probes were sterically immobilized into a thin membrane. The dip-stick allows the assessment upon change in pH with the eye. Especially a probe working at high basic pH range was converted into a water-soluble analogue and was directly applied at the growth front of silica biomorphs to detect local pH changes. But also particulate structures are suitable host materials. It is shown how the silica matrix of nanoparticles lead to improved optical properties for embedded dyes. The interactions of silica and fluorescent dyes within the pores of mesoporous particles were exploited to develop an actual sensor format based detection of TATP. In another approach it was possible to detect mercury ions in water. Heavy metal ions were also successfully detected in a quencher displacement assay involving receptor-dye functionalized silica nanoparticles. The impact of the unique surface properties of cellulose microparticles was shown by a fluorescent dye which allows an assessment of the surface functional groups and microenvironment through the reactivity and its changes in the optical properties. The performance of the prepared materials were evaluated mostly by spectroscopic methods and if possible assessed in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and response time. The newly developed and investigated materials based on fluorescent particulate and thin-films show the facile application of innovative sensor probes for potentially sensing devices.

Nano-sized nanoporous materials tethering carboxylic indicators were prepared via direct-synthesis and co-condensation. Indicators with carboxylic group were synthesized on nanoporous materials via Friedel-Crafts reaction. These nanoporous materials with indicators can be used for trace of biological cells. Two kinds of nanosized nanoporous material were synthesized. One was MSN (mesoporous silica nanoparticle) with porosity of 2.6 nm and particle size of 70 nm. Another was SBA-15NPs (SBA-15 nanoparticles) having 10 nm porous and 400 nm particle size. Indicators on MSN and SBA-15NPs were bonded after synthesis. Three kinds of bonded indicators were chosen and studied because of their unique properties. The three bonded indicators emitted green fluorescence and orange fluorescence. Their characteristic fluorescence intensity variation with various pH values in solution were monitored by photography and fluorescence spectroscopy. MSNs with indicators were effectively endocytos into cells as a cell markers. Synthesized nanoporous materials with indicators via Friedel-Crafts reaction are inexpensive, simple and rare as compared to commercially available dyes. Synthesis of different indicators can be achieved by simply adding different reactants. In addition, Silica as the component of the synthesized nanomaterial has high biocompatibility and stability. Thus, mesoporous nanoparticles with indicators can be applied not only as a cell maker but also a medicine carrier.

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles have demonstrated their practicability as MRI contrast agents. However, low intracellular labeling efficiency and hydrophobicity has limited the potential usage in vitro, in vivo and in clinic. Here, the hydrophilic polyethylene glycol-lyated (PEG-lyated) fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-binded silica-coated / mesoporous silica-coated FePt nanoparticles (FePt@SiO2-FITC-PEG / FePt@MSN-FITC-PEG) were developed as a potential bifunctionally magnetic vector for fluorescence/MRI dual imaging. The hydrophilic PEG-lyated nanopraticles exhibited stable water-dispersity and successful intracellular fluorescence imaging in HT29 cell line. FePt@MSN-FITC -PEG was uptaken via endocytic pathway and trapped in endosomes/lysosomes within 12 h observed by confocal microscopy. Moreover, magnetic resonance relaxometry reveals that FePt@MSN-FITC have a high T2-shortening effect because of the superparamagnetic chemically disordered face-centered cubic (fcc) FePt that can induce sufficient cell MRI contrast. This novel PEG-lyated delivery system is a potential nanocarrier for the combination of fluorescence and MRI contrast for the diagnosis of cancer.

This thesis focuses on preparations of using porous silicon dioxide modified iron oxide and cadmium selenide zinc sulfide (CdSe / ZnS) quantum dots. The motivation of this research is to make magnetic and fluorescent nanoparticles. The presence of porous silicon dioxide in the magnetic and fluorescent nanoparticles can make particles round sphere shape and also increase ability of attaching functional groups onto nanoparticles. Therefore we can easily create functional nanoparticles.

Abstract This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part used substrate-capped gold nanoparticles to detect protein-protein interactions and to purify specific protein. We designed and synthesized a series of sugar-capped gold nanoparticles (Sugar-GNPs) used in competition colorimetric assay for studying protein-protein interactions, particularly lectins. The competition assay uses the ensemble of lectin and Sugar-GNPs, which display blue color due to multivalent interactions between lectin and Sugar-GNPs, to identify the binding partners for lectin. Protein-Protein interaction can be evaluated qualitatively as well as quantitatively by using this competition assay. By using this methodology, a broad range of proteins can be rapidly evaluated for their abilities to interact with the protein of interest in real time, rendering high throughput screening possible. Sugar-GNPs can be used not only in detection of protein-protein interaction but also in purification of carbohydrate-binding protein. If the surface plasmon resonance band is red-shifted, it indicates that the binding occurs between Sugar-GNPs and the protein in the solution. By centrifuging the colloid, the complex can be isolated and purified. The identity of the isolated carbohydrate-binding protein can be further confirmed by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS. The feasibility of Sugar-GNPs for the simultaneous enrichment and isolation of ConA from protein mixture is demonstrated. Furthermore, very few quantity of agglutinin can be purified from a small amount of dry weight of algae and the biological activity still remains after recovering the protein from the complex. In addition, activity-based probe was designed and synthesized to form a covalent bond between the specific protein and substrate-capped gold nanoparticles through “click” reaction. Our experimental results indicate that labeled enzymes are easily separated from the unlabeled ones by centrifuge. SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS are applied to analyze the purified samples. In second part, two methods were employed to synthesize fluorescent silica nanoparticles, which were then modified by mannose derivatives on the surface, namely Man-F-SNP and Man-R-SNP. Both types of particles were used to stain Salmonella typhimurium for bacteria imaging and the results showed that photostability of Man-R-SNP is better than Man-F-SNP.

Abstract The first objective of this thesis is to utilize a reverse microemulsion (W/O) composed of sodium silicate, protein A, and fluorescent dyes (Rubpy) to prepare protein A-fluorescent silica nanoparticles. The other objective is to use the antibody-bioconjugated fluorescent silica nanoparticles to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7, through fluorescent immunoassay. The loading of fluorescent dyes was 83.5 % when 5.5 mg/mL sodium silicate and 1 mg/mL Rubpy were used during the synthesis of nanoparticles. SEM pictures show that the average particle diameter of fluorescent silica nanoparticles was 138± 17 nm. The protein A-fluorescent silica nanoparticles were made with 5.5 mg/mL sodium silicate, 5.5 mg/mL Rubpy, and 520 µg/mL protein A. The average diameter of protein A-fluorescent silica nanoparticles was 62± 11 nm and the loading of protein A was 60.72 %. The FTIR spectra and Zeta potential measurements suggest that protein A might be immobilized in silica network by electrostatic interaction. Before the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7, the bacterial samples were ruptured by ultrasonication. We were able to detect 10 CFU/mL of Escherichia coli O157:H7 by using fluorescent measurement in a 96-well microplate. This nanoparticle-based bioassay allows for detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 within 2 hours and it is easy to fabricate. It is a rapid and convenient technique for quantifying pathogenic bacteria.

Intracellular pH plays many important roles in cell, including proliferation, apoptosis and endocytosis. Therefore, information of intracellular pH can help us to understand the cellular dysfunctions and the physical conditions of organelles. Since the discovery of mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN), such silica materials with controllable physical properties and excellent biocompatibility have received tremendous attention. Because the silanol groups on surface are available for further modification of diverse functional groups, MSN has been employed in drug delivery, intracellular imaging and sensing. Herein, dye-leaded MSN is synthesized by co-condensing a pH-sensitive dye FITC and a reference dye RITC with silica source. By ratiometric method, one can correctly obtain the readout of this pH sensor. In the first part of the thesis, we demonstrate a 3D real time tracking technique which can record the trajectories of the fluorescent dye-loaded MSN (FMSN) internalized by cancer cell and the change of pH at the same time. The motion of FMSN and pH are proved highly correlative by observing the acidification after endocytosis and the increase of pH due to endosome escape. Moreover, the cellular dysfunction is shown responsible for the occurrence of endosome escape. In the second part, we synthesize hollow structured FMSN by adding hexane during the synthesis, which also leads to a broad pore size distribution. The different surface curvature due to various pore sizes affects not only the distance between FITC and positive-charged functional groups on the silica surface but the pKa value of FITC. As a result, we obtain a powerful pH sensor which owns a broad pH sensing range. We envision these researches can open up new designs of sensors and improve the knowledge of cellular process.

Part I: Recently, the minimally-processed food products have been gradually popular in Taiwan. Fresh cut products can be purchased easily from retailers, convenience stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, or instant restaurants. The characteristics of fresh-cut products are natural nutrition, handiness, savoriness and freshness. However, during processing, the minimally-processed fruits and vegetables are easily contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, investigating the amount of microbes especially pathogens in RTE food products becomes necessary. The study sampled a total of 165 minimally-processed fruits or vegetables from 20 companies to investigate their total plate count (TBC), coliform, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella spp., Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus cereus. In this study, the most contaminated issue in RTE products were coliform since 40% of samples are unqualified. Moreover, there were 7 samples including papaya (Company D), guava (Company H), beef tomato (Company L), lettuce (Company M), and cabbage (Company S) which were contaminated by Salmonella spp. In addition, there was one sample, rape (Company T) which was contaminated by L. monocytogenes. Conclusively, the survey of this study shows that the companies need to improve their sanitary quality or the process of RTE and RTC products. Part II The liposomal nanovesicles and silica nanoparticles were used as fluorescent reporters for the detection of Bacillus cereus ces gene in a sandwich-type hybridization assay and their assay performance was compared in order to develop a sensitive assay with a lower detection limit. Oligonucleotide capturer pobes was conjugated to the surface of magnetic beads through an avidin–biotin linkage. The reporter DNA-tagged liposomes encapsulating SRB or silica nanoparticles were used as the label reagent to hybridize to DNA-tagged magnetic beads-ces sequence complex. Through a sandwich-type DNA hybridization procedure, the target DNA was captured and quantified by the fluorescent signals from liposomal nanovesicles or silica nanoparticles. The results of this study show that liposomal nanovesicle was a better detection reagent than silica nanoparticles and the assay with liposomal nanovesicles could have a dynamic range as 3.3-100 nM of target DNA with a detection limit of around 0.9 nM. Hence, this study has developed a probe tagged fluorescent nanovesicle method to detect B. cereus ces gene.
